Our hoarding cleanup and restoration services remove these risks, giving you back a safe, healthy, and dignified place to live.
Hoarding is more than “too much stuff.” It can hide serious fire hazards, structural damage, pests, and biohazards that put everyone in the home at risk. At PDX Restoration, we approach every hoarding cleanup with compassion, privacy, and a clear safety plan.
Our certified technicians remove trash, debris, and hazardous materials, disinfect and deodorize impacted areas, and repair damage so the home is safe and livable again. Whether it’s one room or an entire property, we handle the heavy lifting without judgment — so you can focus on moving forward.
Left unchecked, hoarding can quickly turn a home into an unsafe environment. Stacked belongings block exits, overloaded shelves can collapse, and hidden moisture or waste can trigger mold growth and severe odors. Do-it-yourself cleanup often makes things worse and exposes family members to biohazards and structural dangers.
Professional hoarding cleanup brings structure and safety back to the process. We create a step-by-step plan that protects sentimental items, removes hazards, and restores the property to a healthy, functional space.
PDX Restoration provides hoarding cleanup for:
Every hoarding situation is different, but the goal is the same: make the space safe, sanitary, and livable again. Our structured process keeps things organized, respectful, and compliant with health and safety standards.
We begin with a confidential on-site evaluation to understand the extent of hoarding, identify hazards such as mold, pests, or structural concerns, and note areas that need special care. From there, we build a customized cleanup and restoration plan with clear priorities and timelines.
Before any sorting or removal starts, we secure the area. Our team sets up containment barriers, lays down floor protection, and uses proper PPE and air filtration to prevent dust and contaminants from spreading through the home or building.
Working at the client’s pace, we help separate belongings into keep, donate, and dispose categories. Important documents, valuables, and sentimental items are set aside and protected. Usable items can be boxed, labeled, and moved to safe storage as needed.
Hoarding environments often harbor spoiled food, animal or human waste, sharp objects, needles, or chemical containers. Our biohazard-trained technicians safely remove and dispose of hazardous materials according to OSHA, EPA, and local regulations.
Once the bulk of debris is gone, we perform a thorough clean. Using professional disinfectants and HEPA-filtered vacuums, we remove dust, allergens, bacteria, and visible contaminants from floors, walls, and surfaces — leaving the home not just ”picked up,” but actually sanitary.
Persistent odors from waste, moisture, smoke, or decomposition require more than fragrance sprays. We use advanced deodorization methods — including ozone or hydroxyl generators where appropriate — to neutralize odors at the molecular level and improve indoor air quality.
If hoarding has damaged flooring, drywall, paint, or fixtures, our restoration team can repair and rebuild affected areas. We patch and repaint walls, replace damaged flooring, and coordinate other trades if needed to return the property to a clean, safe, move-in-ready condition.
For many clients, hoarding cleanup is a major life reset. We offer guidance and connections to organizers, counselors, or local support resources to help maintain progress. Our goal is long-term safety and stability, not just a one-day cleanout.
Hoarding isn’t just a clutter problem — it’s a health and safety issue. Some of the most common risks include:
